lollontee posted:What the gently caress... Isn't that basically an invitation for the government to hold itself hostage to pass laws the ministers all want to pass? "Pass this law or we end trhe motherfucking council of ministers bithc!" Many systems have a mechanism like this, including every sovereign parliament I know of

A Buttery Pastry posted:Talking about the EU? English is spoken as an additional language by more people than the next four EU-languages put together, and that's with the UK propping up French. Wouldn't make any sense to give primacy to languages not even a third of the EU speaks. no we should bring back latin imo

Chomskyan posted:I don’t read French so that article doesn’t mean anything to me. Anyways, the claim isn’t in quotes. That France has a veto in both central banks is being written as fact by Deutsche Welle googling this, it seems reasonable that some journalist has misunderstood a political statement to be a purely factual one, and the editor hasn't caught it no doubt france maintains undue influence over the francophonie through this currency arrangement, but there does genuinely not seem to be any formal right of veto in regards to the central banks. there might be some de facto veto power (certainly some political figures in the francophonie claim as much) but this is not a formal arrangement this is not unheard of - in my country, there's no legal minimum wage, but union agreements are ubiquitous enough that people believe that there is anyway

lost in postation posted:Yeah I think that's the sticking point here. I personally don't find it extremely shocking that the president meets with prominent leaders in various religious communities* even though I don't really care for it but no-one was breathlessly live-tweeting that the State should reconcile with the Church (which somehow goes unnamed, since it's the only denomination in France I guess?) when he went to see the other guys imo it's also perfectly acceptable that religious communities influence policy in certain areas e.g. exceptions to noise regulations for church bells or prayer calls or what have you

Ghost Leviathan posted:Wasn't 'Fake News' originally a liberal term meant to try to discredit the endless stream of social media propaganda which immediately backfired completely and was co-opted? yes, it's extremely funny that it was originally a term belonging to the idiot fact-checking brigades
